Jerry Ahern is one of America's leading authorities on holsters and how to carry concealed weapons. He is the gunleather columnist for Petersen's "Handguns", the author of more than a thousand articles, columns and features in the firearms field, as well as a holster manufacturer and knife designer. Ahern brings more than two decades of concealed carry writing experience (and more than a quarter century of actually carrying concealed weapons on a daily basis) to CCW: Carrying Concealed Weapons. This is the definitive "how-to" book giving step-by-step, illustrated instructions on how to carry concealed weapons and how to know when others are as well. Sound advice and alternatives are provided from choosing your weapon, to body language, to holsters, to clothing restrictions, ankle and leg carry options, off-body carry, fanny packs, and much more. CCW: Carrying Concealed Weapons also provides information on concealed storage of weapons, spotting techniques, concealing larger weapons and alertness. With the passage of laws permitting the carrying of concealed weapons being adopted by more and more states, CCW: Carrying Concealed Weapons is "must" reading for anyone contemplating the necessity of going about armed in today's increasingly unsafe world.
